  1. They actually called it dark heroic fantasy. I just attribute it to the fact that the phrase is itself entirely made up. But of two real genres that they derive things from. Heroic fantasy, better known as Conan, which Dragon Age was heavily inspired by in at least one stage of development, though it later turned away from that design. And dark fantasy, which has the Cthulhu mythos as the most popular example. The darkspawn do seem to fit as dark fantasy elements, but they don't quite dominate Dragon Age enough to define it.
  2. Survival rates for falls can get silly for light weight animals. The inverse of square cube can surprise. I believe I've heard that feline survival of heights like that is precisely one of the causes for the 9-lives concept, moreso than landing on their feet. I wouldn't throw a puppy off a bridge or anything to test it. But I'd be glad to assume the best for that gif. While cringing every time it repeats.
  3. Having a pilot at the front and a floor to ceiling window at his station is probably significantly worse than beam weapons not being up to expectation.
  4. Tattooine and Nar Shaddaa are the only ones I actually got. Are you say they're the trickiest?

    Or DNF. Some people did like that game. But I can't find it in me to risk it.
  6. Interview with Scott So, he's confirming that Prometheus is about the space jockeys. But most people I've talked to don't seem to be picking up on it. Most response I've seen to this is complaints about the confirmation that aliens won't appear. So, we may have some sort of gigantic suit-based alien with biotech as the monster of the film. Or whatever the specifics of his interpretation of them is.
  7. Yeah, the greatest threat to the world NK poses, and has posed for a little while now, is that of a humanitarian crisis. Which is not a thing to be taken lightly.
  8. Would you mind elaborating that opinion?
  9. Mass Effect never had strong science. It was always space opera, for the drama.
  10. Finished Halo: Anniversary. Now to focus on Mysteries of Westgate. No opinion on MoW yet. It seems a promising start. Start off at level 7, have some adventurer backstory, and get told to engage with one of three factions in the city. All I've done aside from that little bit of background is a quest where all roads seem to lead to failure... which is odd, but I think it's setting up for later. And it definitely seems more talky than fighty so far. Only one fight in the first handful of minutes instead of throwing you to a bunch of them.

    I hope you don't regret it. I love that game. Absolutely love it. Got Spellforce Universe and Unreal II.

    Me. Didn't you see my massively OTT guide a few months back? No. No, I did not.

    Anyone here a fan of Spellforce? Or even a hater? $9.99 for the whole set and am looking for opinions.
  14. Valve appears to have a policy against allowing stores other than Steam within the games themselves. Or something like that. That's why Crysis 2 got taken off. And probably why Dragon Age 2 was removed.
  15. Juggling lots of stuff. Halo Anniversary is 29.99 at Target, so I picked it up. Remembered I had a GamersGate account from purchasing Precursors, so I picked up Mysteries of Westgate. And TF2 has a new update, so I've been tooling around in that.
  16. Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows Absolutely loved it. I'm debating on the comparison to the first. Came with a trailer for The Dark Knight Rises. Calling it: Virtually baseless speculation

    TF2 update! Including Pyro stuff I would kill for. I will take your total hours as a challenge to my TF2 hours now.

    This is depressing...
  20. Where did you read they're having to reinstitute GeoIP? The court deal only seemed to relate to the 360 release.
  21. I've decided that anyone that eats Pastrami cold is a criminal that should be jailed.
  22. Sneaky daggers is overpowered. I one-shot a dragon. Poison can get ridiculous too.
